Human Planet

From lush cloud forests to bare summits that take your breath away, the higher you climb the tougher life gets on a mountain. We explores the extraordinary ways in which people survive at extreme altitudes where nature becomes utterly unforgiving. In the Altai Mountains in Western Mongolia the vast open spaces make hunting for animals almost impossible, so the locals have forged an astonishing partnership with golden eagles.
